Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, relates to a structure and a processing technology of a semiconductor device, and particularly relates to a GaN-based Schottky barrier diode device based on a double-anode structure and a manufacturing method thereof.
Technical Field
The Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) is a key unit device of a microwave rectification circuit, and determines the conversion efficiency between RF-DC signals. The wireless energy transmission technology is widely applied to power charging and energy collection of electric automobiles, wireless power distribution systems in buildings and the like.
A radio frequency-to-direct current conversion circuit, a so-called rectifier circuit, is a key unit of a receiving end of a wireless power transmission system, and the conversion efficiency of the receiving end mainly depends on the performance of a Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) applied in the rectifier circuit, including characteristics such as a characteristic on-resistance, a junction capacitance, a breakdown voltage, and a turn-on voltage. The low on-resistance and low junction capacitance enable the device to work at high frequency, the high breakdown voltage can meet the requirement of high power, the low on-voltage can reduce power loss in a circuit and improve the rectification efficiency, and therefore the performance of the diode is required to have the characteristics of low on-resistance, low junction capacitance, high breakdown voltage and low on-voltage.
GaN, one of the representatives of the third generation semiconductor materials, has excellent properties such as wide forbidden band, strong polarization, high electron saturation velocity, high breakdown field strength and the like, and also has good chemical stability and thermal stability. Compared with a GaN-based device, the GaAs and Si-based device cannot meet the requirements of high frequency and high efficiency, and the SiC-based device has higher cost, so the GaN material is the first choice semiconductor material for preparing the Schottky diode. However, GaN-based devices still have some problems so far, and the actual values of the electrical properties of GaN-based devices are always far from the theoretical values.
Most researchers have adopted Ni as an anode metal electrode, and as they have a suitable work function and good conductivity, they have found that the electrical properties of the device, especially the forward-cut-on voltage, can be improved by changing the anode structure while trying to find a new anode material.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the invention aims to provide a GaN-based electronic device with a double-anode structure and a manufacturing method thereof, which solve the technical problems that the schottky diode in the prior art has large starting voltage and low breakdown voltage, so that the efficiency of a rectification system for transmitting a high-power signal in a microwave circuit is influenced. The method is improved on the basis of the traditional single-anode GaN-based Schottky diode by the simplest method, and is a method for improving the reverse breakdown voltage and reducing the forward starting voltage of the GaN-based SBD.
Therefore, the invention adopts the following technical means:
a gallium nitride-based Schottky barrier diode with a double-anode structure comprises a substrate and an epitaxial layer grown on the substrate, and is characterized in that an ohmic electrode and a double-anode Schottky electrode are arranged on the epitaxial layer. The epitaxial layer is sequentially provided with a substrate, a buffer layer, an intrinsic GaN channel layer and an intrinsic AlGaN barrier layer which are vertically distributed from bottom to top, and the material structure has a two-dimensional electron gas interface with high electron mobility, so that the material structure can realize larger saturation current density and microwave rectification application.
On the basis of the technical scheme, the key points of the invention are as follows:
the Schottky barrier diode is characterized in that a low-work-function Schottky electrode structure is groove-shaped, an AlGaN barrier layer right below the Schottky barrier diode is partially or completely etched, the etching depth is 1-100nm, a high-work-function Schottky electrode covers the low-work-function Schottky electrode, the area ratio of the area of the high-work-function electrode to the area of the low-work-function electrode is required to be q, q is equal to 1 and +/-infinity, the Schottky barrier diode has the beneficial effects that the low-work-function metal of the groove can reduce the starting voltage of a device, the reverse leakage of electricity is inhibited by the high-work-function Schottky electrode without the groove, and the forward and reverse electrical characteristics of the device are regulated and controlled.
Further, anode1 in the bi-anode schottky electrode is one or more combinations of low work function electrode materials (relative values), such as: titanium, aluminum, molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, titanium nitride, molybdenum nitride, silicon molybdenum nitride, tungsten nitride, tantalum nitride, or the like; while anode2 anode is one or more combinations of high work function electrode materials (relative values), such as: nickel, palladium, gold, platinum, nickel nitride, or the like; the ohmic cathode is one or more of titanium, aluminum, nickel, gold, platinum, molybdenum, iridium, tantalum, niobium, cobalt, zirconium and tungsten. The method has the advantages that the Schottky metals with different work functions have different depletion effects on the two-dimensional electron gas, so that the rectification characteristic of the device is regulated and controlled, the rectification speed of the device is improved, and the application of high-power transmission signals is realized.
Further, according to the above technical idea, the composition and material types of each layer in the structure are as follows:
s1: the substrate material is one of the following materials: si, SiC, sapphire;
s2: the thickness of the intrinsic GaN channel layer is 0-1000 nm;
s3: the thickness of the intrinsic AlGaN barrier layer is 0-100 nm;
s4: the ohmic cathode is one or more of titanium, aluminum, nickel, gold, platinum, molybdenum, iridium, tantalum, niobium, cobalt, zirconium and tungsten;
s5: in the double anode schottky electrode, as shown in fig. 1, anode1 anode is one or more combinations of low work function electrode materials (relative values), for example: titanium, aluminum, molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, TiN, MoN, MoSiN, WN, TaN, or the like; while anode2 anode is one or more combinations of high work function electrode materials (relative values), such as: nickel, palladium, gold, platinum, nickel nitride, and the like.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the double-Schottky-anode GaN-based SBD device, which comprises the following specific steps:
(1) sequentially growing a buffer layer, an intrinsic GaN channel layer and an intrinsic AlGaN barrier layer on a substrate according to certain growth conditions;
(2) photoetching the grown AlGaN/GaN material, defining an active area, and isolating the active area of the device by using an etching method;
(3) photoetching a table AlGaN/GaN material of a prepared active region to define a cathode ohmic contact electrode region, preparing ohmic contact metal through electron beam evaporation or magnetron sputtering, stripping, and finally performing rapid thermal annealing (500-1000 ℃ for 10-1000s) in a nitrogen environment to form ohmic contact;
(4) after cathode ohmic contact is formed, further defining a low-work-function Schottky electrode area through photoetching, preparing a low-work-function electrode material through electron beam evaporation or magnetron sputtering, and then carrying out stripping process treatment on a device to form a low-work-function anode, wherein the etching depth of the AlGaN barrier layer is 1-100 nm;
(5) after the low-work-function Schottky anode is formed, an anode high-work-function Schottky contact area is formed through photoetching, high-work-function Schottky metal is prepared through electron beam evaporation or magnetron sputtering, and then the device is subjected to stripping process treatment to form a double-Schottky anode structure;
(6) and after the device is preliminarily finished, finally, annealing the whole wafer in a nitrogen environment to finish the preparation of the whole device.
The invention has the following advantages:
(1) the device utilizes the double-anode structure, so that the electric field distribution of the anode high work function Schottky metal part is uniform in the whole reverse breakdown voltage of the device, and the breakdown characteristic of the device is improved. The low work function schottky anode portion increases the average potential of the electrons such that the turn-on voltage of the device is reduced.
(2) From the perspective of device structure design, the invention provides a new idea for improving the breakdown voltage of the GaN-based SBD device and reducing the forward starting voltage.
